Description

Tender chicken breasts drenched in creamy mushroom sauce, served over fluffy rice. A comforting one-dish meal perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear them in a hot skillet for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, soy sauce, paprika, and thyme.
  5. Place the seared chicken in the baking dish and pour the sauce mixture over the top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Serve over cooked rice and enjoy!

Notes

Sear the chicken for enhanced flavor and use fresh herbs for the best taste. Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days in the fridge.
